Are all of you just wasted when you wrote these reviews? If you aren't over the age of 40 you won't be served at the bar. The service was horrible - our waitress (61 years old I'm thinking) was extremely rude and overcharged the amount of food and drinks we had. We asked to get our ticket split and the waitress threw a fit telling us we should have let her know as soon as we sat down. Lazy, overcooked food and a weird atmosphere. No, thank you. Don't waste your money here.
Review Source:This is a local "watering hole" kinda like Cheers! Â It is fun, close & everyone really does know your name and what you drink. Â The atmosphere is typical sports bar with about 15 to 20 tv's tuned to whatever sports you want to watch. Â They even have a small private room with a big screen for small groups & a large dining room for big crowds. Â
But what is not typical sports bar is the service & the food!! Â The chef is definitely a 5 star!! Â We have been going there lately to watch the NCAA championships & have had the most delicious food we've had in a long time. Â Beer Cheese Soup with a delicious fried fish sandwich big enough for two. Â Cabbage Soup with Pork Schnitzel & steamed veggies - definitely enough for two & Chicken Soup with Garbanzo Beans & Chicken Crepes (crepes in south Texas??) with wild rice & steamed veggies. Â Also all entrees came with lettuce & fresh tomato salad on the plate & Texas toast. Â Soups came with fresh baked roll, not crackers. Â I told my husband I am giving up cooking because the food is so good & varied. Â Who knows what the Chef will concoct next, but I will certainly order it when I am there. Â Definitely not your typical steak & potatoes, or grilled chicken salad. Â They do also have a set menu that has great nachos & bar b q & stuffed chicken, etc. but their specials are to die for. Â The servers are exceptional too, not only do they remember your names & drink, but they are pleasant & seem to enjoy being there & serving you, which is a rarity these days. Â I hope they stay around for a long while!!
Every time I'm in the valley I get dragged to the office. And by dragged I mean rush there with joy in my heart. Why? Because I have discovered they have great margaritas.
Now, let me qualify that. They're not those simpering sweet margaritas you get other places. They're true blue Mexico margaritas, served with olives, tang and just the barest hint of sweetness. They're generously sized and blended right there in front of you. No pull handled pre made action here. Also, if you ask nicely, they'll give you the rest of the blender for free.
Sadly, the food has declined in quality a little bit... or a lot bit. But when you're drunk n hungry, who cares?
My favorite place in the area. Cozy bar atmosphere with some of the best food in town. They have great moist brisket, quality steaks and you get a soup with every entree. Chef makes a different soup everyday. They make all of their bread daily. The Yorkshire beer soup is served on Fridays. Absolutely fabulous. Smoked Chicken Quesadillas with the green Tomatillo sauce are wonderful!!
Mindy the bartender is always on top of it, and Hector the owner is almost always there mingling with the crowd making everyone feel welcome.
This place is great at being what it is: a bar with good beer and bar food (brisket, burgers, ribs, etc.). Â It's a sports bar without the douche effect. Â The atmosphere is cozy - wooden walls and bar make for a nice feel. Â It's relaxing without feeling like you're supposed to be being cool as you might feel at Roosevelt's. Â The food is really good - we were given a complementary cup of soup, even the person who hadn't ordered food was offered it and it was good as was my brisket and bbq beans. Â The most significant thing to mention is that the service was super attentive without being annoying - something really hard to find in the RGV.
Review Source:An actual pub! Â With pub food! Â Cheese and beer soup (surprisingly good), heavy wood tables, darker atmosphere at the bar, and good beer on tap. Â It's somewhere you can go talk while you drink and eat your way to oblivion. Â 'Irish' bar (is the opposite of Irish) and London (a former Bennigans) can't hold a candle to this place!
Review Source:My brother and I walked into this spot after having quite a few @ Cigar Bar. We had tall Stella's on tap for $7 which seems a bit pricey, but hey why not. We were starving so we came in here to eat, not really drink...
My Brother had Chicken Fried Steak, I could see that it was fork tender and he demolished it so it must've been good.
I had the Mushroom/Bacon Burger which was really good, and the homemade chips were tasty as well.
The bartender told me to try the brisket next time, and I think that I will. He said that they make it on premises.
This is a great place to kick back and drink a beer after a long day at the office. Â Funny how you would leave one office to go to another huh? Â anyways, the owner walks around with his lonestar and discusses with you about whay you ordered and what you should have ordered lol. Â All in all it was a pretty nice little hang out!
